ill take you home kathleen
C G G7 B C G7 G G7 C
i will take you home kathleen , across the ocean wild and wide ,
G G7 B C G D7 C D7 G
to where your heart has ever been , since first you were my bonny bride .
G7 B C G7 Dm7 C
the roses have all left your cheeks , ive watched them fade and die ,
E7 Am Dm E E7 D7 C Dm C D7 G
your voice is sad when E er you speak , and tears bedim your loving eyes .
C G G7 B C G7 G G7 C
oh , i will take you back kathleen , to where your heart will feel no pain ,
C7 F C C7 Dm7 C
and when the fields are fresh and green , ill take you to your home again .
G G7 B C G7 G G7 C
i know you love me , kathleen dear , your heart was ever fond and true ,
G7 B C G D7 C D7 C
i always feel when you are near , that life holds nothing , dear , but you .
G7 G B C G7 Dm7 C
the smiles that once you gave to me , i scarcely ever see them now ,
E7 Am Dm E A7 D7 C Dm C D7 G
though many times i see , a dark ning shadow on your brow .
C G G7 B C G7 G G7 C
oh , i will take you back kathleen , to where your heart will feel no pain ,
C7 F C C7 Dm7 C
and when the fields are fresh and green , ill take you to your home again .
G G7 B C G7 G G7 C
to that dear home beyond the sea , my kathleen shall again return ,
G7 B C G D7 C D7 C
and when thy old friends welcome thee , thy loving heart will cease to yearn .
G7 G B C G7 Dm7 C
where laughs the little silver stream , besides your mothers humble cot ,
E7 Am Dm E A7 D7 C Dm C F C
and brightest rays of sunshine gleam , there all your grief will be forgot .
